CnnnnII This Evening.

This evenings session Of the City Coun-
Gil will be more than usually interesting,
FROM the fact that o new Board OF Gas
Trustees will be chosen to succeed the
gentlemen now holding the offices. The
names OF the candidates who are alleged 70
have been picked out are we'll known TO the
public, they having heretofore appeared in
the columns Of the REGISTER and otser
city papers. The candidates for positions
under the Trustees are bacoming thick,
and there are liable to be some d~isappoiRt-
ments. Among the most promising can
didates for the Office of Secretary is Mr..
Will 3. Day. In addition to the names
mentioned in the REGISTER, a week or so
ago, S. F. Faris, James Dickey and John
Schellhase have come to the front for
either the ~Secretarysbip or Assistant
Se~cretaryship. The contest isgoing to be
a lively one.

Disorderly Conduct.

A we'll known young man and a colored
boy created a good deal of tumult and dis
order about the Mcclure House corner last
night. They had one row about eight
o'clock and were separated by Constable
st. Meyers. About ten o'clock the same
two had another whirl, and quite a large
crowd was attracted. The white party to
the muss was led off threatening to kill his
antagonist to-day.

a pan filed with hot water. The unfor-
tunate child is but a little over a year old,

severe. DR.. Pipes has charge OF the case.

ChSpllDe, n Others are dotted here and
there over the South Side. Of smaller
residences, there are quite a number, the
growing more numerous as one approaches
the southern limits of the city. This fact
is largely due to- the Inauguration of new
indasSGisl establishments down that way,
such ~ the biz table works at Benw0od,
which, while not in the city. has eHerted
a very beneficial effect by creating a &C.
mand for small houses.
This same cause is going to create q big
demand for small dwellings in the Fifth
and first wards before long. The inaug-
uratlOn Of the Warwick pottery. on South
Water street and the Wheeling China Com
pany's pottery, on Fourth street, will give
employment to hundreds OF people and as
many Of thsAs must of necessity be new
corners, homes will be wanted for them.
Not only Is the city improving in the
particular stated, but it is being fteshened
up in quite another way-by the applica-
tiOn OF plenty of fresh paint. The Danish
ing OF the clouds of coal smoke, through
the very genera introduction of natural
gas, has removed the OF the dingy
and dirty appearance of the tom, and
there has sprung up in al quarters adesire
TO brighten up residences More taste is
being used 10 this direction than ever be-
fore, and the diaereGcs IS sometimes very
marked. A tine example OF ybat We are
doing in this line is afforded by the C. y.
Franznsin residence, on South Front

possibilities. Let Us hope their antieipa-
tons may be verified.

The oft>recurring question of whether
1t would not be best to abolish the Con-
gressional Record, again presents itself

merely condensed official report of the
proceedings of congress; this is shown by
reference TO files of the old Globe,
the predecessor of the present pubs

gioie synopsis of the doings of congress,
-eacrossAmeBt wss gradually made upon
the space OF the Record until it has be-
come the medium through which long
winded congressman in1ict upon the pub
lie and their own constituents speeches,
many Of which were never delivered;
for il is often the case when the house OF
senate wishes 10 avoid being bored by a
tiresome speaker, that the orator is both
siienced and satisfied by leave to print
his remarks" 1t is all the same to the
statesman, so he is successful IN his pur-
pose to reach the voters. So il is safe t6
say that the Congressional Record will
not be abolished, but that 1t will continu,

GIRDIR0NING THE LAND.
THE PAST YEAR A GREAT ONE FOR
RAILWAY BUILDING.
About 5000 Miles of Iron Highways Con-
strueted-where the Work Was Mostly
Done, What 1t Cost. and Its Significance
Total Number of Miles in the Country
Southern Industries Booming.

CHICAGO, Dec 30.-The current number
Of The Railway Age says that the year 1887
has surpassed all other years IN the extent of
railway mileage constructed in the United
States. When, six months ago, the predic-
ton was made that the total new mileage for
the year would not be less than 10000
miles with the likelihood of surprising the
record of lSs2-the year of greatest railway
construction in the history Of the country"
it was not generally believed But the fig
ures obtained by careful investigation
throughout the year and confirmed by Off
cial information now prove the prediction to
have been more than warranted. The re-
turns show that during 1887 no less
than 12,i4 miles of new main
line track were added to the
railway system of the United States, no
account being taken in this of the hundreds
of miles of side track built nor of the thou
sands of miles Of main track relaid. 1t isnot
improbable that some scattering additions
may yet be received, so that il is safe to state
that during 1887 nearly, if not quite, 1900
miles of new main line track were construct
ed. These are truly astonishing figures
When in 1882, during period of extraor-
binary activity, ll,5is miles of new road
were built it was generally believed that these
figures would not again be equalied- In the
following year, 1858, the new construction
fell to Il, TAI miles; in 1884 to 8, s25, and in
1888 to 3,6OS miles. The year 1856 witnessed
a considerable revival of activity, and 8, 900
miles were built-a greater mileage than any
previous year, with the exceptions of 1881
and 1SS-; and now 1887 has witnessed the
building of more miles of railway than 1886
and 1885 combined and not much less than
1885, 1854 and 1888 together.
The following table shows where the roads
were built, the number Of lines, and the miles
constructed.

first degree. The arrest surprised the prisoner,
as he expected soon to be released The coro-
ner's investigation still drags along. Mrs.
Billings was again on the stand, but added
nothing to her testimony. She was dis
charged at noon. The next witness was E.
W. Risdon, justice of the peace The pith
of his evidence was as follows: "On the
Tuesday evening preceding Kingsleys death
Billings entered my office and told me about
the mortgages and notes drawn up by
him, saying: Tam going to make Kingsley
sign these for the support of a young lady
and her child until the latter becomes Is
years old l replied: You will never get
him to sign them' He said: He will sign
them or I'll blow his brains out" The
notes, ETC., referred to were claim on all
Kingsley's property and most of his salary
from the county until 1908 if he should hold
office that long. This feature is whit the
prosecution depend upon to prove that the
tragedy was the end of Matchmaking
scheme, set up by Billings and his wife
